Specialty pharmaceutical company CyDex hires development official

(Journal-World (Lawrence, KS) (KRT) Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) Jan. 6--CyDex Inc., a Lenexa-based specialty pharmaceutical company born at Kansas University, announced Thursday that it had hired Jose Rodriguez as vice president of business development.



Rodriguez comes to CyDex from Perrigo Co., where he managed a pipeline of 23 products as business development manager.

At CyDex, Rodriguez will manage a portfolio and seek commercial partnerships for a pipeline that includes drugs under development for asthma, depression, allergy, cancer, arrhythmia and other diseases using CyDex's Captisol technology, a molecule that improves the delivery of insoluble and unstable active drug ingredients.



Privately held CyDex was spun off from KU in 1993 to continue development of Captisol, which was created at KU's Higuchi Biosciences Center for Drug Delivery Research. The company has 19 employees.

Two Captisol-enabled products already are marketed globally by Pfizer Inc.: Vfend, an antifungal solution; and Zelodox/Geodon, an injection used to treat schizophrenia.

CyDex also has working agreements with Allergan Inc.; Bristol-Myers Squibb; Daiichi-Suntory Pharma Co. Ltd., of Japan; Merck & Co. Inc.; Mitsubishi Corp., of Japan; OSI Pharmaceuticals Inc.; PTC Pharma AG, of Switzerland; TargeGen Inc.; Taisho Pharmaceuticals, of Japan; and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., of Israel.

Video: Northern Lights Robotics Team

You might consider picking up a ball, a somewhat easy task. But when you're asked to do it by building a robot first, the job probably doesn't seem quite as easy. This was the task that the Northern Lights Robotics Team was asked to accomplish this past year for the annual FIRST Competition. FIRST, is For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology. The competition brings teams from all over the country, who also build similar robots. The Northern Lights Team took 16th out of 54 teams this year, and today they were in Dakota Square Mall starting preparations for next year's competition. Members wanted to showcase what they built, but they were also hoping to gain some interest. (Anthony Callina, Northern Lights Robotics Team) We're just showing what we do and how it works in the whole FIRST competition. And we're here to recruit new members, maybe get some people involved, anyone who can help or just want to be part of the team. (Sarah Angell, Northern Lights Robotics Team) It's not just something for building, you can do anything. I do a lot of the promotions and just kind of background work stuff. Anyone can join. FULL CG And if you'd like more information on the Northern Lights Robotics Team, or you're interested in becoming a member, you can contact, Byron Borgen at 839-2407.
